Lined article of clothing

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a lined garment. The lined garment comprises the following components, all of which are made of the same synthetic polymer material, e.g., of recycled polyester. The components are an outer textile layer, an inner textile layer and a lining arranged between the inner textile layer and the outer textile layer. The outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer are manufactured individually, wherein a connecting means, which is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the components, is led through the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer, so that the outer textile layer is firmly connected to the inner textile layer and so that the lining is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer and the inner textile layer.

The invention relates to a lined garment which consists of a recycled material or at least of a recyclable material. A further claim is directed to a method for manufacturing a second lined garment by recycling a first lined garment.

A lined garment, e.g. a jacket, in particular an anorak or parka, a vest, a pair of trousers or a shoe, typically has several components. Thus, a lining is usually arranged between textile layers. Furthermore, the lined garment usually comprises at least one closure means, e.g. a zipper, a hook-and-loop fastener or snaps. Also, textile rings and bands for tightening certain areas represent components of the lined garment. These components are usually manufactured from different materials which are matched to the function of the respective component. The components are then connected to each other, for example by adhesives or seams.

After a lifetime of the lined garment, e.g. when the lined garment is worn out and can no longer be used, considerable efforts are required to safely dispose of and recycle the lined garment. In this context, particular attention must be directed to the different individual materials which are present in the lined garment in order to optimise its disposal and recycling. To this end, a considerable organizational, machine and energy expenditure is required to separate the materials of the individual components from each other, wherein greenhouse gases are emitted. On the other hand, the plurality of worn-out lined garments ends on a waste dump or in a waste incineration plant as waste.

An object of the present invention can be seen in providing a more environmentally friendly lined garment as well as a method for the manufacture thereof.

The object is achieved by the subjects of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the subclaims, the following description as well as the figures. According to the present invention, a lined garment is provided, e.g. an insulated anorak, wherein the lined garment can be manufactured in a continuous, circular production process. Comparable to a varietal wine, which is pressed from a single grape variety (“varietal pure”), the entire lined garment according to the invention, i.e. all of its components and connecting means, consists of 100% of the same synthetic polymer material. In particular, the lined garment is designed using exclusively 100% of the same polyester material—any trimmings and colouring agents—such a way that it can be recycled at the end of its lifetime without disassembly. The lined garment can be simply crushed and recycled with minimal resources.

Conventional lined jackets are manufactured from different materials with a large number of embellishments and additional components. However, in the lined garment according to the present invention, in particular only fabric, lining and seams of the same synthetic polymer material are used, for example to form a closure, an adjustment element or a branding. The branding can be cut, for example, with a laser, wherein a burnin connected thereto gives the lined garment colour without additional colouring agents having to be used. All closures can furthermore be manufactured from fabric with a loop construction.

In this sense, according to a first aspect of the invention, a lined garment is provided. The lined garment is in particular a jacket, e.g. an anorak or a parka, a vest or a pair of trousers. An anorak can be understood here to mean a weatherproof jacket with a hood. The anorak can be manufactured as a slip jacket, i.e. the anorak has only one opening for the head of the wearer of the anorak on its front upper side. The anorak typically cannot be opened completely. However, the opening can be narrowed by means of a setting means described further below.

The lined garment comprises several components, all of which are made of the same synthetic polymer material. One of the components can be an outer textile layer (typically referred to in English as “shell fabric”) facing outwards when the lined garment is worn by a person or by a wearer. A further one of the components can be an inner textile layer (typically referred to in English as “inner lining”) facing inwards when the lined garment is worn by the person. The inner textile layer and/or the outer textile layer can in particular be a knitted material, a warp-knitted material, a woven material, a nonwoven fabric or a braided material. The inner textile laver and/or the outer textile layer can be a “knit” textile, e.g. a weft-knitted or warp-knitted textile. For example, the weft-knitted material can be flat weft-knitted and/or circular weft-knitted. For example, the warp-knitted material can be a mechanised weft-knitted material. In addition to warp-knitted and weft-knitted textiles, the inner textile layer and/or the outer textile layer can be provided with woven material, nonwoven material, braided material and/or other yarn-based textile material, which offers a high quality and a high wearing comfort.

Furthermore, a lining (heat insulating material; typically referred to in English as “padding” or “insulation material”) arranged between the inner textile layer and the outer textile layer can also be a component of the lined garment. From at least one of these components (inner textile layer, outer textile layer and lining), all parts of the lined garment can be formed. For example, a torso and sleeves of a jacket can be formed by the components of the lined garment, wherein the upper body part and the sleeves are formed in particular by the inner and outer textile layer as well as the lining. Also, the pockets, bands and textile rings, patches and gusset described further below can be formed by at least one of the components (inner textile layer, outer textile layer and lining).

The outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer as well as optionally the yarn described in detail further below are in particular manufactured individually. Thereby, different physical properties of the individual components, for example of the textile layers and the lining, can be provided, although the same synthetic polymer material is used. Furthermore, a connecting means runs through the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer, so that the outer textile layer is firmly connected to the inner textile layer and the lining is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer and the inner textile layer. The connecting means thereby consists of the same material as the outer textile layer, the inner textile layer and the lining. The connecting means can in particular be seams which are formed by yarn or created by friction welding.

By all components of the lined garment consisting of the same synthetic polymer material, the synthetic polymer material can be easily recovered from the lined garment, which significantly reduces the required expenditure for separating and/or sorting different components. For example, the whole lined garment, i.e. all of the components and connecting means of the lined garment, can be treated in a single recycling step. The lined garment according to the present invention can significantly simplify the recycling of used lined garments because the whole lined garment is manufactured from a single material.

Thus, an economically feasible, at least partially closed material loop can be created for many generations of lined garments, as the same synthetic polymer material can be recovered and reused in several generations. For each new generation, which is manufactured from the same recycled material, the energy and greenhouse gas emissions for the production and safe disposal of the material can therefore be saved. An at least partially closed material loop means that it is also possible that the reused synthetic polymer material is mixed with virgin material. For example, the percentage of virgin material could be 10-50%, or 15-20%, e.g. to ensure durable resulting material properties.

In one embodiment, the connecting means comprises seams formed by yarn. The yarn consists of the same synthetic polymer material as the outer textile layer, the inner textile layer and the lining. Thereby, the yarn, the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer are manufactured individually. The yarn can be sewn through the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer, so that the outer textile layer is firmly connected to the inner textile layer and so that the lining is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer and the inner textile layer. Due to the fact that the yarn consists of the same material as the remaining components of the lined garment, the latter can be recycled particularly easily without having to disassemble it before recycling.

In a further embodiment, the connecting means comprises weld seams created by friction welding. The weld seams can run through the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer, so that the outer textile layer is firmly connected to the inner textile layer and so that the lining is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer and the inner textile layer. This embodiment thus manages without the separate manufacturing of a yarn and a subsequent sewing of the yarn through the components of the lined garment. Instead, a material connection between the components of the lined garment to be connected can be generated in a single method step by the connecting means in the form of the weld seams.

Friction welding is a common method for joining in particular thermoplastic plastics. For example, the weld seams can be created by means of ultrasonic welding. The welding is thereby achieved by a high-frequency mechanical oscillation in the range of typically 20 to 35 kHz, which leads to a heating by molecular and interfacial friction between the joining partners. Ultrasonic welding belongs to the group of friction welds. In ultrasonic welding, a high-frequency alternating current can be created with the aid of a generator and transmitted via a coaxial cable to an ultrasonic transducer, the so-called converter, which creates mechanical ultrasonic oscillations therefrom, which in turn can be transmitted via an amplitude transformation piece to a sonotrode. The ultrasonic oscillations can be transmitted under pressure via a mostly structured working surface of the sonotrode to the components of the lined garment to be connected.

The ultrasonic oscillations can in particular be introduced vertically into the components of the lined garment to be connected. As a result, the components of the lined garment to be connected are heated and begin to soften, whereby the damping coefficient increases. The increase in the damping coefficient leads to a higher internal friction, which further accelerates the temperature increase. The melted polymer material of the components of the lined garment to be connected connects to each other, so that after cooling and after solidification, the components of the lined garment are welded to each other.

The synthetic polymer material can be recycled polyester. Furthermore, the synthetic polymer material can be a thermoplastic polymer material selected from one of the following materials: thermoplastic polyurethane TPU, polyamide PA, polyethylene terephthalate PET, or polybutylene terephthalate PBT. Furthermore, it is possible that the synthetic polymer material is selected from one of the following materials: TPU, PA6, PA66, PA11, PA1010, PA612, PA610, PA1012, PA410, PA12 and/or polyether block amide (PEBA).

The synthetic polymer material of the lined garment can be configured to be recycled in a common recycling process for all components and for the connecting means of the lined garment, so that the synthetic polymer material can serve as a base material for the manufacture of at least one further component and/or for the connecting means of the lined garment. Thus, a decomposition of the lined garment into its individual components before its recycling is not required. The entire lined garment can be exposed to a joint recycling process in order to recover the synthetic polymer material, e.g. for the production of a recycled lined garment. In this sense, the synthetic polymer material can be configured to be processed into a recycled synthetic polymer material in a joint recycling process for all components and for the connecting means of the lined garment, so that it can serve as a recycled synthetic polymer material for the manufacture of at least one of the components and/or for a connecting means of a further lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention.

Thus, the synthetic polymer material recovered from a first lined garment can be reused for each of the components and the connecting means of a second lined garment, so that the components and the connecting means of the second lined garment can be manufactured from the same recycled synthetic polymer material. In this sense, the synthetic polymer material of the lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention can comprise a material which has been recycled from a component and a connecting means of another lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention.

In one embodiment, the lined garment comprises a marking, wherein the marking is created by laser cutting the outer textile layer or the inner textile layer. The “marking” can be, for example, a product name, a brand name, manufacturer information, size information, care instructions or the like. Decorations can also be comprised by the feature “marking”. This embodiment enables the marking without any colour additives.

Material of the outer or the inner textile layer is removed by the laser cutting. This material removal can extend through the entire layer thickness of the inner or outer textile layer, so that holes are formed. In particular, perforation patterns can be created in this way. The perforation pattern can form the marking, e.g. in the form of a graphic or in the form of letters, numbers, special characters or combinations thereof.

In this case, the outer textile layer treated by laser cutting can have a double-layered design and only the outer of the textile layers lying one above the other can have holes. As a result, it can be prevented that a lining arranged between the double-layered outer textile layer and an inner textile layer can escape through the holes to the outside. Analogously, the inner textile layer treated by laser cutting can have a double-layered design and only the inner of the textile layers lying one above the other can have holes. As a result, it can be prevented that the lining arranged between the double-layered inner textile layer and the outer textile layer can escape through the holes to the inside.

At the edges of the holes, a yellowish discolouration of the synthetic polymer material typically forms as a result of the heat input connected to the laser cutting, in particular if it is polyester. Normally, this is undesirable for aesthetic reasons. In the embodiment described above, however, the yellowish discolouration ensures that the marking is particularly clearly visible without the addition of colouring agents.

In a similar way, material can be removed by the laser cutting only at the surface of the outer or inner textile layer. In this case, the material removal extends only through a part of the layer thickness of the respective textile layer, so that no holes are formed. This can be advantageous in particular if the inner or outer textile layer treated by laser cutting has a single-layered design and it is to be prevented that a part of the lining escapes to the inside or outside.

The marking can furthermore also be created by means of the seams formed by the yarn. The inner textile layer, the lining and the outer textile layer can be sewn by the yarn (quilting), for example in the form of a graphic or in the form of a lettering. Thus, on the one hand, the purpose of fixing the filling material of the lining is fulfilled. Furthermore, the marking can be created by the quilting, namely alternatively or additionally to the laser cutting described above.

In a further embodiment, the lined garment comprises a pocket, which is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the remaining components and the connecting means of the lined garment. It goes without saying that the lined garment can comprise not only one, but several pockets. The pocket can be an inner pocket or an outer pocket. In the case of an inner pocket, it can be attached to the inner textile layer, e.g. by at least one seam, which is formed by the yarn of the lined garment. In the case of an outer pocket, it can be attached to the outer textile layer, e.g. by at least one seam, which is formed by the yarn of the lined garment.

The pocket can have—such as the main part of the lined garment—a first textile layer, a second textile laver and a lining, which is arranged between the first textile layer and the second textile layer. Here, the first textile layer, the lining and the second textile layer can be manufactured individually, wherein the yarn of the lined garment is sewn through the first textile layer, the lining and the second textile layer, so that the first textile layer is firmly connected to the second textile layer and the lining is enclosed and fixed between the first textile layer and the second textile layer.

The pocket can be designed as a so-called “frog mouth pocket”, into which in particular two different directions can be engaged, e.g. from above and from the side, if the pocket is sewn to the outer textile layer of the lined garment.

Furthermore, the lined garment can comprise an adjustment means which can be brought into different positions such that an opening of the lined garment is opened or enlarged or reduced or closed, wherein the adjustment means is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the components and the connecting means of the lined garment. The adjustment means can comprise, for example, a textile tape and one or more textile rings through which the textile tape can be guided.

Thus, for example, the textile tape and the textile rings can be attached to the pocket, in particular by seams which are formed by the yarn of the lined garment or by friction welding. Depending on how the textile tape is guided and tightened by the textile rings (these are the different positions of the adjustment means in this example), an opening to an interior of the pocket can be opened or closed.

In a further example, the lined garment can comprise a hood to which the adjustment means is sewn by the yarn. The hood is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the rest of the lined garment. The hood can have an opening, in particular for a facial part of a wearer of the jacket. The adjustment means can be tightened differently, e.g. the textile tape, such that the opening is enlarged or reduced.

Furthermore, the lined garment in the form of a jacket can comprise a sleeve. On the sleeve, the adjustment means can be sewn by the yarn. A sleeve can be understood to mean that part of the lined jacket which covers the arm of the wearer of the lined jacket. Of course, the jacket can comprise a right sleeve and a left sleeve, on each of which an adjustment element can be sewn. The sleeve can have an opening. From the opening of the sleeve, the hand (long-sleeved) or a part of the arm (short-sleeved) of the wearer of the jacket can protrude. The adjustment means can be tightened differently, e.g. the textile tape, such that the opening is enlarged or reduced.

Furthermore, the lined garment in the form of a jacket can comprise a gusset in a front collar region of the jacket, wherein the adjustment means is sewn to the gusset by the yarn. The gusset forms an adjustable part of the collar. The gusset is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the components and the connecting means of the lined garment. The gusset can, for example, have a first textile layer, a second textile layer, and a lining, which is arranged between the first textile layer and the second textile layer. The gusset can have a wedge-shaped form and be sewn into a straight slit of the lined garment, wherein the slit can extend from the collar into a chest region or deeper. The gusset enables the wearer of the jacket more wearing comfort and freedom of movement.

The adjustment element can be brought into a released position, in which, for example, the textile tape can be pulled out of the loops or is merely guided very loosely through the loops. If the adjustment element is in the released position, then the collar is relatively wide, such that a tightening or pulling out of the jacket is facilitated. The adjustment element can furthermore be brought into a tightened position, in which, for example, the textile tape is firmly tightened and fixed by the loops. If the adjustment element is in the tightened position, then the collar is relatively tight, such that relatively little wind can penetrate into the jacket via the collar.

Furthermore, the lined garment can comprise a patch, which is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the components and the connecting means. The patch is attached to the outer/inner textile layer by means of the connecting means. The patch can be sewn, for example, by the yarn to the outer textile layer (outer patch) or to the inner textile layer (inner patch). The patch can be provided with a marking, which can be crated, for example, as already described by laser cutting or by means of seams formed by the yarn. Furthermore, several patches can be sewn to the respective textile layer without a marking. Due to the design and/or the arrangement of the patches to each other, however, the lined garment can be provided with a marking. For example, a marking in the form of an image mark can be created by three parallel, strip-shaped patches, which are sewn to the inner or outer textile layer.

According to a second aspect of the invention, a method for manufacturing a second lined garment by recycling a first lined garment is provided, wherein both garments are made of only a single synthetic polymer material. The method can in particular comprise the following steps:

(100) manufacturing a first lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention from a single synthetic polymer material,

(200) processing the single synthetic polymer material of the first lined garment after a lifetime of the first lined garment has elapsed in a recycling process for the entire first lined garment (1) into a recycled synthetic polymer material, and

(300) manufacturing a second lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention using the recycled synthetic polymer material.

In the method step (100), manufacturing the first lined garment can in particular take place by

(110) manufacturing a first outer textile layer from a synthetic polymer material,

(120) manufacturing a first inner textile layer from the synthetic polymer material,

(130) manufacturing a first lining from the synthetic polymer material, the first lining being arranged between the first inner textile layer and the first outer textile layer,

(140) manufacturing a first yarn from the synthetic polymer material, or

(140′) creating first weld seams by friction welding, and

(150) sewing the yarn through the first outer textile layer, the first lining and the first inner textile layer, so that the first lined garment is formed, wherein the first outer textile layer is firmly connected to the first inner textile layer and wherein the first lining is enclosed and fixed between the first outer textile layer and the first inner textile layer, or

(150′) guiding the first weld seams through the first outer textile layer, the first lining and the first inner textile layer, so that the first outer textile layer is firmly connected to the first inner textile layer and so that the first lining is enclosed and fixed between the first outer textile layer and the first inner textile layer.

Subsequently, in the method step (200) after the lifetime of the first lined garment has elapsed, processing the first outer textile layer, the first inner textile layer, the first lining and the optional first yarn in a joint recycling process into the recycled synthetic polymer material can take place.

Furthermore, in the method step (300), manufacturing the second lined garment can take place by

(310) manufacturing a second outer textile layer using the recycled synthetic polymer material,

(320) manufacturing a second inner textile layer using the recycled synthetic polymer material,

(330) manufacturing a second lining using the recycled synthetic polymer material, the second lining being arranged between the second inner textile layer and the second outer textile layer,

(340) manufacturing a second yarn using the recycled synthetic polymer material, or

(340′) creating second weld seams by friction welding, and

(350) sewing the second yarn through the second outer textile layer, the second lining and the second inner textile layer, so that the second lined garment is formed, wherein the second outer textile layer is firmly connected to the second inner textile layer and wherein the second lining is enclosed and fixed between the second outer textile layer and the second inner textile layer, or

(350′) guiding the second weld seams through the second outer textile layer, the second lining and the second inner textile layer, so that the second outer textile layer is firmly connected to the second inner textile layer and so that the second lining is enclosed and fixed between the second outer textile layer and the second inner textile layer.

The inner textile layer and the outer textile layer (of the first lined garment and of the second lined garment) can be single-part or multi-part. Thus, for example, in a multipart embodiment of an inner/outer textile layer for a lined garment in the form of a jacket, a first inner/outer textile layer, a second inner/outer textile layer and a third inner/outer textile layer can be manufactured. The first inner/outer textile layer can be used, for example, for manufacturing a torso of the jacket, the second inner/outer textile layer for manufacturing a right sleeve and the third inner/outer textile layer for manufacturing a left sleeve of the jacket.

In the synthetic polymer material from which the components of the lined first garment are manufactured according to the method steps (110) to (140), each of the components is the same synthetic polymer material as has been explained above in connection with the lined garment according to the first aspect of the invention. Manufacturing the first components according to the method steps (110) to (140) and also manufacturing the second components according to the method steps (310) to (340) can take place at least partially in parallel or one after the other. It is essential that the components are manufactured individually and then joined together, for example, by sewing or ultrasonic welding. The feature “using the recycled synthetic polymer material” can be understood to mean that, in addition to the recycled synthetic polymer material, virgin material is also used to manufacture the individual components and the connecting means of the second lined garment.

In the following, exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the partially schematic drawing, wherein identical or similar elements are provided with the same reference numerals. In the figures:

FIG. 7 a schematic partial cross-sectional illustration of an exemplary layer structure of the lined garment according to FIG. 1 , and

FIG. 8 a sequence of an exemplary embodiment of a recycling method according to the invention.

FIG. 1 shows a lined garment in the form of a lined anorak 1. The anorak 1 is a weatherproof jacket with a hood 2. The anorak 1 comprises a torso 3 which covers the trunk of a wearer (not shown) when the wearer wears the anorak 1. Furthermore, the anorak 1 comprises a left sleeve 4 shown on the left in FIG. 1 and a right sleeve 5 shown on the right in FIG. 1 .

The torso 3, the hood 2 and the two sleeves 4, 5 form the main part of the lined anorak 1. In the area of the torso 3, the hood 2 and the two sleeves 4, 5, the lined anorak 1 is constructed substantially in three layers. As can be seen particularly well from FIG. 7 , the lined anorak 1 comprises in the mentioned areas 2 to 5 an outer textile layer 6 as the first component, a lining 7 as the second component and an inner textile layer 8 as the third component. Furthermore, the lined anorak 1 comprises a yarn 9, which forms seams 10.

The outer textile layer 6 faces outwards when the lined anorak 1 is worn by the wearer. The inner 8 textile layer faces inwards when the lined anorak 1 is worn by the wearer. The lining 7 is arranged between the inner textile layer 8 and the outer textile layer 6. The yarn 9 forms seams 10. Through the seams 10, on the one hand, the sleeves 4, 5 and the hood 2 are sewn to the torso 3. Furthermore, through the seams 10, the individual parts of the torso 3, which is multi-part in the shown exemplary embodiment, are connected to each other. The yarn 6 is furthermore sewn through the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7 and the inner textile layer 8, so that the outer textile layer 6 is firmly connected to the inner textile layer 8 and so that the lining 7 is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer 6 and the inner textile layer 8 (see FIG. 7 ). The seams 10 formed by the yarn 9 can be at least partially replaced by weld seams 10′ wherein the weld seams 10′ can be created, for example, by ultrasonic welding.

The outer textile layer 6, the lining 7, the inner textile layer 8 and the yarn 9 were initially manufactured individually. Subsequently, the lined anorak 1 was sewn together by means of the yarn 9. The outer textile layer 6, the lining 7, the inner textile layer 8 and the yarn 9 in the shown exemplary embodiment all consist of the same polyester material. Alternatively, only the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7 and the inner textile layer 8 can initially be manufactured individually from the same synthetic polymer material. Subsequently, the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7 and the inner textile layer 8 can be materially connected to each other in the above-described manner by ultrasonic welding, wherein the mentioned weld seams 10′ are created, which then completely or at least partially replace the seams 10 formed by the yarn 9.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show that the lined anorak 1 can comprise a gusset 11 in a front collar region. The gusset 11 consists of the same polyester material as the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7, the inner textile layer 8 and the yarn 9. The gusset 11 can, for example, have the layer structure, which is shown by FIG. 7 . The gusset 11 is sewn into a slit or into a rectangular recess 12. This recess 12 is several centimeters wide in the shown exemplary embodiment and extends from the collar into a stomach region of the torso 3. The gusset 11 is wedge-shaped and wider than the recess 12. The gusset 11 enables the wearer of the lined anorak 1 more wearing comfort and freedom of movement.

By an adjustment means 13, the gusset 11 can be tightened, which is shown by FIG. 1 . Furthermore, by releasing the adjustment means 13, the gusset 11 can be loosened, which is shown by FIG. 2 . The adjustment means 13, which is shown enlarged by FIG. 4 , comprises a textile tape 14 which is several centimeters wide. Furthermore, the adjustment means comprises, for example, three textile rings 15, the width of which can likewise lie in the centimeter region. Furthermore, bartacks 16 are attached in the area of the textile rings 15. The bartacks 16 serve as a guide aid or as a limit for the textile rings 15. The bartacks 16 can in particular be formed by the yarn 9 in the form of a zigzag seam. The bartacks 16 furthermore increase the connecting strength of the textile rings 15 on the outer textile layer 6. The textile rings 15 are sewn to the torso 3 by seams 10 formed by the yarn 9, namely in the collar region laterally next to the gusset 11. The textile tape 14 is sewn to the gusset 11 by a seam 10 formed by the yarn 9 in the collar region. The textile tape 14 and the textile rings 15 consist of the same polyester material as the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7, the inner textile layer 8 and the yarn 9. The textile tape 14 and the textile rings 15 can comprise one or more textile layers, for example as shown by FIG. 7 .

The textile tape 14 can—shown by FIG. 1 —be threaded through the textile rings 15 and tightened, such that it is tightened. By virtue of the fact that the textile tape 14 is attached to the gusset 11 and the textile rings 15 are attached to the torso 3, the gusset 11 can be tightened by the textile tape 14 being threaded through the textile rings 15 and tightened, such that the collar of the lined anorak 1 is relatively tight. In this way, relatively little wind can penetrate into the lined anorak 1 via the collar. This position of the adjustment means 13 is shown by FIG. 1 . The adjustment element 13 can furthermore be brought into the released position shown by FIG. 2 , in which the textile tape 14 is pulled out of the textile rings 15. If the adjustment element 13 is in the released position, then the collar is relatively wide, such that a tightening or pulling out of the lined anorak 1 is facilitated for the wearer.

The same type of adjustment means 13 is also sewn or welded to the hood 2 at the lower or outer ends of the two sleeves 4, 5 and at the back, in order to be able to tighten and release the outer ends of the sleeves 4, 5 or the hood 2. An adjustment means according to FIG. 4 is also attached to two identical pockets 17 in each case by the yarn 9 or seams 10/10′ formed by ultrasonic welding (see in particular FIG. 6 ), in order to be able to open and close the pockets 17.

The pockets 17 consist of the same polyester material as the outer textile layer 6, the lining 7, the inner textile layer 8 and the yarn 9. The pockets 17 can comprise one or more textile layers, for example as shown by FIG. 7 . The pockets 17 are attached to the outer textile layer 6 by the yarn 9 or seams 10/10′ formed by ultrasonic welding. The pockets 17 are designed in the shown exemplary embodiment as so-called “frog mouth pockets”, into which in particular two different directions can be engaged, in the shown exemplary embodiment from above and from the side.

A marking in the form of different mark symbols 18 is applied to an outer textile layer of the gusset 11 by laser cutting (in the shown exemplary embodiment an image mark and two word marks). Material of the outer textile layer 6 is removed by the laser cutting. This material removal in the shown exemplary embodiment extends through the entire layer thickness of the outer textile layer 6, so that a perforation pattern (holes) in the form of the mark symbols 18 is created. At the edges of the holes, a yellowish discolouration of the polyester material forms as a result of the heat input connected to the laser cutting, so that the mark symbol 18 is particularly clearly visible without the addition of colouring agents. A further marking 19 can be created on the outer textile layer 6 by means of the seams to formed by the yarn 9. As previously described, the inner textile layer 8, the lining 7 and the outer textile layer 6 are sewn by the yarn 9 (quilting), in the shown exemplary embodiment in the form of a mark symbol 19 (word mark).

Furthermore, the lined anorak can comprise several patches, of which a rectangular patch 20 is shown in the area of the upper right sleeve 5. The patch 20 is sewn by the yarn 9 to the outer textile layer 6. The patch 20 is provided in the shown exemplary embodiment with a marking 21, which can be created, for example, as already described by laser cutting. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show the patch 20 before it is sewn to the right sleeve 5. Furthermore, as shown by FIG. 3 , in the shown exemplary embodiment, three parallel, strip-shaped patches 22 are attached to the lined anorak 1 without a marking. The patches 22 are sewn by the yarn 9 to the outer textile layer 6, namely on the back side of the torso 3. Due to the design and the arrangement of the three patches 22 to each other, the lined anorak 1 is provided with a further marking in the form of an image mark (“three strips”).

FIG. 5 shows a waistband 23 of the lined anorak 1. The waistband 23 can be formed, for example, by the outer textile layer 6 circumferentially in the lower area of the lined anorak 1, for which purpose the outer textile layer 6 can have a double-layered design in this area. Through two openings 24, an adjustment means in the form of a tape 25 can be inserted between the two layers of the outer textile layer and can be designed again. Through the tape 25, the waistband 23 can be tightened and released.

The lined anorak 1 consists of 100% of the same polyester material. The synthetic polymer material is configured to be processed into a recycled synthetic polymer material in a common recycling process for the entire lined anorak 1 such that it can serve as a recycled synthetic polymer material for the manufacture of at least one of the components or connecting means of a further lined anorak 1′. FIG. 8 illustrates in this context a possible sequence of a recycling method.

Through the method, a second lined anorak 1′ can be manufactured by recycling a first lined anorak 1, wherein both lined anoraks 1, 1′ are made of only a single polyester material. In a first step 100, a first lined anorak 1 is thereby manufactured from a single polyester material, as it has been described in connection with the FIGS. 1 to 7 . After a lifetime of the first lined anorak 1 has elapsed, in a second method step 200, its single polyester material is processed into a recycled synthetic polymer material in a recycling process for the entire first lined anorak 1. Subsequently, using the recycled synthetic polymer material (optionally with the addition of new, not already recycled polyester material), in a third method step 300, a second lined anorak 1′ is manufactured, as it has been described in connection with the FIGS. 1 to 7 .
